Head of Engineering

Form Health helps people lose weight in a medically supervised environment. Our physicians look at the whole patient and develop an individual, medical approach to dealing with overweight that includes medications when appropriate. All of this: doctors visits, interactions with Registered Dietitians, group interactions, meal tracking, and more, is delivered with incredible discretion via an app on the patient's phone. 

Obesity impacts 40% of the US adult population, but only about 1% of patients receive medical treatment for their disease. Form Health makes medical treatment available to everyone.

Losing weight is hard, the more so because Overweight and Obesity are conditions that change the basic functions of the human body. Our doctors help set it right.
